FDA Drug Quality and Security Act Stakeholder Discussion Notes - No Bullwhip

Updated October 24, 2022

The original link broke.

You can still read about the same topic here:

---  the original post follows below  ---

FDA Drug Quality and Security Act Stakeholder Discussion Notes - No Bullwhip:

"The FDA held its first public stakeholder call this morning (Dec. 3rd, 2013) to discuss the new Drug Quality and Security Act law. This is the first of a series of public engagements that the FDA will hold as the various provisions of DQSA are phased in starting Jan. 1, 2015 and continuing over the next 10 years.

The call, led by Dr. Ilisa Bernstein and Cara Tenenbaum of the FDA, didn't contain much in the way of hard specifics on rules, regulations and licensure. The FDA is still developing its go-forward plans and communication processes."

Procedure Writing Course

483 Observation Gotchas!
1. Firm's procedures lack sufficient detail.
2. Employees perform significant steps not included in procedures.
3. Firm lacks procedures for a variety of production, maintenance, and quality assurance activities.

Plan Your Training!
  1. Does your company constantly update and revise procedures, or
  2. Are procedures the root cause of many deviations, or
  3. Are procedures ignored, being replaced by word-of-mouth guidance from colleagues?

    If you answered "Yes" to one or more of these questions, then you need to take a look at our Writing Standard Operating Procedures workshop.


Featured Course
Writing Procedures: This course is as much about consulting as training. In this course, Allan reviews and consults on a firm's procedure for writing procedures, and then coaches employees on procedure writing. Employees work with existing or needed procedures in this workshop.
Tools addressed in this very popular workshop:
1. Readability analysis
2. Task analysis
3. Decision-making through procedures
4. Determining the appropriate level of detail
5. Task grouping for greater comprehension
6. Procedure reviews and more!
If your firm is not satisfied with the quality of procedures, then you need to look into our Writing Procedures workshop!

FDA Law Blog: Nanotech Roundup: Latest National Nanotechnology Initiative Strategic Plan Released for Comment; NYAS Nanomedicine Conference Summary:

"The draft plan lays out the NNI’s goals and objectives, which remain largely unchanged from 2011 (see here). As with the 2011 Plan, the draft 2014 Plan includes a description of FDA’s NNI-related activities. Those activities continue to be primarily focused on the goal of supporting responsible development of nanotechnology. However, the 2014 Plan more explicitly recognizes the potential impact of nanotechnology on the status of FDA-regulated products:" . . .
